Massive well done to everyone who joined us for tonight’s Midweek Run and Couch to 5K (C25K)!

Groups 1–3 ran their usual lap of the Common, while our C25K crew completed Week 5 and moved another step closer to 5K.

Tonight’s C25K Week 5️⃣ session was:

🏃🏽 5 minutes running
🚶🏽 3 minutes walking
🔁 Repeat x 4

If you’re on C25K, try to repeat the session twice before next Wednesday. If you only manage it once, that’s absolutely fine too. The aim’s simply to keep getting out there and gradually building up your running. You’re all making great progress!

As always, a huge thank you to our fantastic volunteer team for making tonight’s session happen:
